Baltimore Ravens Maintain Defensive Staff Amid Historic 1-4 Struggles

The Baltimore Ravens are enduring a historically poor defensive start to the NFL season, allowing an average of 35.4 points per game and on pace to break the record for most points allowed in a season. Their recent 44-10 home loss to the Houston Texans marked the worst home defeat in head coach John Harbaugh's 18-year tenure. Despite this, Harbaugh ruled out any coaching staff changes, including keeping defensive coordinator Zach Orr, emphasizing the need for unity and hard work among players and coaches to improve. The team has faced significant challenges due to injuries to key defensive players such as Marlon Humphrey, Chidobe Awuzie, Kyle Hamilton, and Roquan Smith, along with the absence of quarterback Lamar Jackson. Ravens players like Kyle Van Noy have accepted responsibility for the defensive lapses, underscoring the importance of better execution on the field. The Ravens, currently tied for last in their division, must regroup and improve their defense to salvage their season.
